embedded-hal is a Rust Hardware Abstraction Layer providing core traits for embedded systems, enabling platform-agnostic device drivers. It includes blocking, async, and polling variants plus utilities for sharing SPI and I2C buses.

Use cases

  • write portable sensor drivers for microcontrollers in Rust
  • abstract SPI and I2C bus access across platforms
  • build embedded Rust applications that work on Cortex-M and AVR
  • share an I2C bus between multiple device drivers
  • use async traits for non-blocking embedded I/O

When to avoid

  • you need platform-specific functionality beyond the common traits embedded-hal provides
  • you are not doing embedded development in Rust
